On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd called Kasich one of the “big winners of Thursday’s debate,” and praised him for an “impressive performance for the supportive crowd” in his home state and read a Time magazine quote comparing him to Pope Francis.

Kasich distanced himself from the Pontiff on economic issues and environmental ones. “I think that man absolutely affects the environment, but as to whether, what the impact is… the overall impact — I think that’s a legitimate debate.”

He then added: “We don’t want to destroy people’s jobs, based on some theory that is not proven.”

Sigh… No one from either side ever seems to mention the jobs and fortunes just waiting to be created building wind farms, solar panels, batteries and motors, and all the other possible new energy sources. Example? Look what happened when petroleum became a prime energy source. Fortunes and jobs everywhere and, funny, the coal industry found a way to survive. The same will happen with the petroleum industry plus we get the bonus of being able to use petroleum for all it’s other uses while not simply turning it into heat, noise, and pollution.

Yep, the reason for their silence is the GOoPer’s bought-and-paid-for allegiance to fossil fuels. Plus, they don’t give a shit about jobs for average Joe or Jane anyway, except maybe in the warmongering industry, and even there they’d prefer Joe and Jane work for nothing. Fascists are like that.

“You want to talk about reducing the national debt?” Conner continued. “We could reduce it overnight if they would defund this evil organization and put it on the national debt. Man, we could get out of debt immediately.” [. . .]

Conner said that Planned Parenthood had met the biblical definitions for evil, wicked, ungodly, hellish and shameful.

“It must go because Planned Parenthood is to children what ISIS is to Christians,” he noted. “It’s an extreme threat.”
